I am a postdoc researcher in Computer Science at Virginia Commonwealth University, specializing in AI-driven digital forensics, trustworthy AI, and cybersecurity. My research focuses on bridging theory and real-world deployment by developing secure, explainable, and ethically grounded AI systems for high-stakes security and forensic applications.
I've received my Ph.D. from Florida International University in 2025, where I conducted research with the Advanced Wireless and Security (ADWISE) Lab and Cyber-Physical Systems Security (CSL) Lab, working with Dr. Kemal Akkaya and Dr. Selcuk Uluagac.
Before academia, I worked as a full-stack mobile developer in industry, bringing a strong applied perspective to my research.
Originally from Ukraine, I earned my B.S. in Computer Engineering from FIU while competing as a Division 1 student-athlete on FIU tennis team on a full athletic scholarship.
